Brixton Metals Discovers New Gold Zone at Outlaw West and Expands the Central Outlaw Zone at its Thorn Project
Brixton Metals Discovers New Gold Zone at Outlaw West and Expands the Central
Outlaw Zone at its Thorn Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals
Corporation (TSXV: BBB) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce drill results from
its Outlaw Target at its wholly owned Thorn Project located in the northwest corner of British
Columbia’s Golden Triangle. The Company completed 2,788.55m of NQ size drill core over 16
holes at the Outlaw Target.
Highlights
• Drilling e xpanded the Central Outlaw Zone by 164m strike for a new total of 600m of
continuous near surface mineralized gold-silver horizon
• Discovery of mineralization at the West Outlaw Zone returned 1m of 8.7 g/t Au, 33.8 g/t Ag
or 9.2 g/t AuEq
• THN20-172 returned 12.4m of 1.4 g/t AuEq including 5m of 3.1 g/t AuEq
• THN20-176 returned 27m of 0.8 g/t AuEq, incl. 6.9m of 2.3 g/t AuEq, incl. 1m of 5.9 g/t AuEq
Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are encouraged as drilling at Outlaw
Target continues to confirm the scale potential of this large gold anomaly. Additionally, we are excited
by the results at West Outlaw Zone, which returned higher grades . The Thorn Project remains a
district-scale project with multiple styles of mineralization and we expect to resuming drilling at
Outlaw, a sediment hosted gold deposit, in 2021 to continue g rowing the gold-silver trend, which
remains open in several directions. We are also looking forward to assay results from other 2020
drilling completed at our Camp Creek Cu-Au porphyry target at the Thorn Project.”

Gold mineralization at the Central Outlaw Zone has been interpreted as a main, sediment -hosted
gold-bearing horizon of EW to NW orientation gently dipping to the north (Figure 3).
Several surface rock samples collected earlier this season located between 90m to 180m N orth-
northwest of holes THN20-172/173 returned 1 to 3 g/t Au. Hole THN20 -173 was drilled with a 350
degrees azimuth and -60 degrees dip for a maximum depth of 258m. The hole successfully extended
gold mineralization by 75m to the north by returning 13.5m of 1.1 g/t AuEq (0.9 g/t Au, 11.4 g/t Ag).
Further drilling should be conducted to the north and northwest of hole THN20 -173 as the Central
Outlaw Zone remains open in several directions.
Drill hole THN20-179 was terminated early due to difficult drilling conditions and possible faulting at
this location; however, the hole ended in mineralization of 2.5m of 0.7 g/t AuEq (0.6 g/t Au, 11.2 g/t
Ag).
Drill hole THN20-178 did not intercept notable mineralization and it is suspected that it may have not
been drilled deep enough as the collar was set at a 72m higher elevation than hole THN20-177 and
about 200m to the EW to NE from collar THN20-177. The other plausible theory is that a fault off set
gold mineralization at this location. Difficult drilling conditions were encountered in both holes
THN20-178 and 179.

Intervals are drilled lengths and true widths of the mineralization have not been determined at this
time. Results are weighted average grades.
Gold equivalent values were determined by AuEq =(1811*Au g/t/31.1+23.38*Ag /t/31.1)/1811*31.1,
where the gold price used was USD$1,811 per ounce and the silver price used was USD$23.38
per ounce and metal recoveries were assumed 100%.

Gold mineralization at the Central Outlaw Zone is associated with disseminated to semi-massive
pyrrhotite and pyrite mineralization hosted in Triassic clastic sediments with weak to moderate
alteration. The picture above represents an example of gold-bearing mineralization of a 27m interval
in hole THN20-176 from 69m to 98m depth that returned an average grade of 0.8 g/t AuEq, including
6.9m of 2.3 g/t AuEq with a 1m interval of 5.9 g/t AuEq.
Gold mineralization at the Central Outlaw Zone was expanded to 600m in strike, 100-200m in width
and 20-60m in thickness based on 13 holes drilled in 2020 . The 4km long gold-in-soils anomaly at
the Outlaw Target remains largely untested and gold mineralization in sediment -hosted horizons
remains open in several directions.
Drill hole THN20-177 is now eastern extent of the continuous Central Outlaw gold horizon which is
about 1,000m west from THN19 -159 (East Outlaw area) drilled in 2019 that returned 37.8m of 1.2
g/t Au, including 12m of 3.5 g/t Au. No drilling has been conducted between these Central and East
Outlaw areas.
The 2020 season was the first -time that drilling has been done in the West Outlaw Zone. The best
gold-silver intervals were in hole THN20-169 that returned 8.7 g/t Au, 33.2 g/t Ag or 9.2 g/t AuEq
from 18m depth and hole THN20-164 that retuned 1.9m of 3.0 g/t Au, 6.5 g/t Ag from 41.1m depth
and from THN20-165 that returned 5.1m of 1.1 g/t Au. See Table 2 and Figure 5 below.

Drilling at the Outlaw West Zone targeted multiple high -grade gold in rock samples and soil
anomalies. Steep terrain conditions made it difficult to construct drill pads at preferred locations.
Eight holes were drilled from 3 pads spaced between 230m and 300m.

Gold mineralization at the West Outlaw Zone is associated with pyrite veining and patches hosted in
an oxidized rhyolite dykes cutting Triassic Stuhini mafic volcanics and clastic sediments.

Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton
Metals Corporation. Blank, duplicate and certified reference materials were inserted into the sample
stream for at least every 20 drill core samples. The certified reference materials (standards) were
acquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, British Columbia and the standards
inserted varied - depending on the type and abundance of mineralization visually observed in the
primary sample. Blank material used consisted of non-mineralized siliceous river / landscaping rock.
Samples were zipped locked and sent directly to ALS’s prep-lab in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Drill core samples were submitted to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, YT and
analyzed at ALS Geochemistry Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, BC. Samples were
initially analysed for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, whereas over limits for Ag,
Pb Cu and Zn and 48 additional elements were analysed using four acid digestion with an ICP-MS
finish. Select samples that returned values >1 g/t Au were then re-submitted for total metallic
screening where the oversized fraction was analysed by fire assay with an atomic absorption
finish.
About the Outlaw Gold Target
The Outlaw Target represents a 4km sediment-hosted gold-silver target. Mineralization is at or near
surface and is hosted within multiple stacked horizons of sub-horizontal sediments as interbedded
siltstone-graywacke with both stratigraphic and structural controls. The consistent nature of the gold
mineralization is thought to be associated with the Jurassic aged rhyodacite dykes. Early exploration
work on the Outlaw Target was conducted by Chevron’s Mineral Division in the 1980’s which entailed
soil and rock geochemical surveys, trenching and a few drill holes.
